Summary/Abstract: The article is a description of the drama of Jan Karnowski Libusza, which was built in the thirties of the twentieth century. From examples of Karnowskis dramas Libusza contains a large shipment of ideological and plot concerns a medieval principality of East Pomerania. Libusza occurring in the drama is evocative creation of the Bohemian princess who as a woman and as a ruler was trying to tie Kashubian space with a great European policy. In the drama Karnowski however was not accurate from a historical point of view to show the regional divisions of the Kingdom Polish or explanation of real political or personal relationships, but rather of synthetic and metaphorical illustration of the basic mental problems ever since. Such a choice of aesthetics had cause that the former medieval history of Pomerania and Kashubia will become more understandable to modern readers/spectators, and besides effectively made aware of both Kashubian and Polish consumers about the social and cultural .rank this part of Europe.
